Ceiling

Your mother's voice was bleeding through the ceilingAs we rolled around along the kitchen floorWe could see your father in the backyard kneelingFunny your mother doesn't kneel much anymoreBut I pushed myself right through you for the first timeAnd I told you that I'd never be untrueAnd I held you like I never had beforeSister found the pills now for the first timeWe all loved her more by her hospital bedFather had a seat upon the right sideAs Mother loved her dearly from her leftThen her heart had burst into a sea of softnessAnd it swallowed up the whole world all at onceWe were closer than we'd ever been beforeWe were younger than we'd ever been beforeSomehow safer than we'd ever been before
